After reading the new 4-hour Work Week I became an instant fan of Tim Ferris. But after watching this interview with Marie, my favorite mentor, I am a lifelong fan! In the last five years, the decision that has made the most impact in my life was to stop drinking alcohol. My mind is clear. I am more confident. I have started my own business, a business I tried once before but was unsuccessful. Now I am successful so far and truly believe I wouldn’t be if I were still drinking. Thank you for all the great nuggets in this interview. Love you both!!

I'm quite literally in a state of wonderment and perplexity... this is going into the rotation of videos that I've been watching to keep me on track... thank you so much... you have no idea the value that this brought to my life on this particular day. I haven't been practicing this for 5 years, but the last 2 or so months every time a negative thought begins in my mind I say "I will not suffer" and just repeat until the anxiety of that negative thought dissipates away. Tim's simplest statement of just being a little bit kinder to yourself and the value that it brings to your life resonates so much with my entire being. I can already see the change in my mood, in my thoughts, in my interactions with my daughter... It's been the simplest and most transformative in such a small frame of time. Thank you... I had to comment and really express this ... so grateful for this masterful content.
In the past 5 years what has most improved my life? Journaling and meditation. The information I've garnered by the introspection is profound. I taught a journaling and meditation class by default, at a sober living residence. It cleared the way to help relax my body, and acknowledge that I am my worst enemy, so I'm changing that with spactatular results! I'm so much kinder to myself and that's becoming a habit. It absolutely affects every aspect and every area of my life. I'm so much happier with far less, I'm so much more appreciative of everything in my life- good and bad. Even though I don't even judge it as that anymore because I see that for me, everything has a purpose in my life. So, it's all good. Thanks for the GREAT interview with the GREAT Tim Ferris! Love you guys!
This is beautiful to read Kelly. We love hearing that journaling and meditation have proven so invaluable for you. Those are both practices that we're huge fans of, and it's incredible to hear all the ways they've impacted your life in positive ways. Thanks for watching this week! - Jillian, Team Forleo
Wow! We are walking the same path, my sister. Incredible. This is the first time I have ever seen Tim Ferris. I've heard about his '20 hour work week' book but I couldn't believe the things he was saying about his growth and awakenings. I'm currently working on creating a new program that teaches and empowers the empath intuitive introvert entrepreneur who has a great many years of sorrows but must learn how to find their passions and explore their own vision, mission, voices through their spiritual awakening and transformation into healing of the inner child by making life into this creative masterpiece that shows them how to find their sacred dreams and create moments that are meaningful and reflective and that sets them up in a way to practice their own craft and get deep into themselves by routine writing that they can learn from and also use...to share their ideas and experiences as they learn to craft a joyful fun, exhilarating and passionate life that gets through the fear and perfectionism that keeps us frozen and anxious, and while suffering from depression and pain due to the martyrdom and sacrificial alter of saving others as if we were their savior! Healing comes from loving yourself rightfully and getting through the fears by gagging the brutal bullying of the inner critic within. Understanding that connecting with the divine and developing a Sacred routine that not only builds upon the creative but pairing the creativity with their spiritual life as well as their professional life. I really believe that being spiritual does not mean that we have to be these Hermits, locked away from the world while being far too much in the mind and seriousness. We are built to have joy, laughter, silliness, just as scripture points out and to respond to life with pure excitement and exuberance for enormous magic and adventure there is. So..it's a a matter of really creating art in your life as that inner child. Being free and independent while simply being your Truest, most genuine and sincere self
Same! I've cured myself of chronic pain, manifested from years of emotional tension surpressing... Journaling and meditation literally saved my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow so many points that hit me hard but the hardest thing is the final fact that >80% of my time that i could spend with my mom is already over. Now i will go and block out “mom time” at least half a day every week and then hopefully when we are able to travel again after the pandemic dies down we can go traveling together. I am grateful for both of you because this is such an inspiring helpful conversation.
One thing that has dramatically improved my life quality is meditation and putting it together with physical training. Certainly Tim Ferris and Tony Robbins have helped me with this.
I think we all underestimate his sensitivity. He intellectualizes a lot so we see a smart guy but it seems like he lives complex and profound emotions with hyper-empathy that led to a control / type A guy saving him from drowning. It is really pleasant to see, and I think that's why people connect with him, part of it being his ability to enounce clearly and directly what appears to be common sense, and part of it being that he is actually a deep guy trying to find meaning in life.
TRUTH: You must love yourself before you can fully love others: Jesus said it! - Love your neighbour as Yourself! Thank you for so many gold nuggets!!!
I listened to the 4 hour work week by this Author and I fell inlove with him instantly. Some of the things I heard was what I have thought to myself I could do in the past to be free of some of the stresses, but I told myself to shut up and get back to work. From then on anytime I come across an interview with Tim Ferriss everything else has to go on Hold. I Love everything about this interview but I am left with two Priceless Gems, "Three Table Created with heading Define- Prevent- Repair" and "Put on your Oxygen Mask First"
Marie definitely has a knack for drawing out the inner beauty of her guests, and we're also thrilled to see Tim's vulnerable side here. Thank you for watching! - Jillian, Team Forleo
This may be the best discussion I’ve ever listened to. I have listed to other TF interviews, and couldn’t quite figure out what I was missing. It was revealed here. Hearing this interview made me understand him. And me. And I’ve have found so many of the practices he outlines very, very helpful and defining. If you are here too, listen closely. This might be your way forward.
Third time listening to this in about a month. Already implementing the risk analysis tool. As for beliefs, I had a revelation last year: so much of the stuff that happens around me is NOT about me. For various reasons the stories I was telling myself were very me focussed and negative. I'm on a steady diet of asking 'what could this mean?' It's revolutionising my life. Thank you for making the time to do this interview.
Marie, oh Ms Marie, this "be nicer to yourself..." is the real shit. Seriously, just experienced it over the last year. Oh Mother of God, the constant punishing of ones self (for a bazillion different sets of reasons), is exhausting, like chronically exhausting. It is crazy how much more benefit we can be to the planet, if we just decide to accept ourselves and work to our strengths instead of beating our potential to death because of our perceived weaknesses. Seriously so important that he talks about suicidal circumstances, depression and omg, being able to love someone only after we can fully love ourselves. So freaking good. Seriously, the consistent beating of ourselves is exhausting - like chronic exhaustion...
We're so glad that this conversation with Tim highlighted some important issues for you Rhonda. YES, loving yourself and being nicer to yourself are major keys to being able to contributing authentically to the world, and establish our your sense of happiness. It sounds like this came at a beautiful time for you. - Jillian, Team Forleo
The best thing I discovered in the last year or so... generating energy for my day with: proper sleep (waking up without an alarm clock), exercise, naps & coffee when needing “an extra” kick
His story is fascinating! The lack of sleep, insomnia, is typical of bipolar disorder. He is so courageous and I appreciate him talking about the “unspeakable.”
Wow. I loved this. I'm glad he discussed that risk/benefit worksheet. Doing this, I have convinced myself to take some very important leaps, including leaving my job, doing my business full time with my husband, selling all our belongings and moving to Guatemala for a year of service (which we just returned from) and now we are doing it all over again - but this time the destination is Santa Fe, NM. I couldn't have seen how we would be divinely supported thorough these leaps of faith, but doing the exercise did help make up some of the unfortunate faith gap and tame the voices of fear in my mind. I have to say Marie, I have watched a lot of Tim Ferris and read his books too, and I’m noticing a big difference in his energy just in this first half hour of the interview. He’s not even discussing self-love he is just embodying it. “Beautiful softness” as you’ve described it - is apt. Fascinating to hear how he got there. Thank you Tim for describing your struggle with depression and how you got to a place of self love, not in spite of, but actually including the depression. I counsel women and sometimes have a had a tough time identifying with and assisting women who describe themselves as depressed. This interview is a breakthrough for me, as I somehow know on a deep level that what you’ve said has given me some very powerful tools to be of higher service to those women. Thank you also for elaborating on Jesus’ “golden rule” from Matthew 7:12. You explained perfectly how there is an internal dialogue that we need to address. In the past 5 years, the thing that has made the biggest difference in my life is taking action on my intuition. Or as a Christian in Christian terms, the voice of the Holy Spirit. Best Regards, Laura Gabriele
It would be lovely to see Marie Kondo on both your shows. This was a great educational video for me! Thank you so very much Marie & Timothy! Going to buy T.O.M tomorrow...so excited!!!
Hey Alisalman, so glad to hear that! We are all living, breathing, works of art... and it we let God in to be a part of that it truly becomes a miraculous journey beyond what we could ask or think!
Listening to Tim speak is such an experience. He provides so much that you almost need to listen to it twice to really digest it. I can't believe how many times I nodded my head during this interview because we have so many unlikely things in common. Excellent interview!
This was so fantastic. I especially appreciated Tim sharing his story about mental health. I thought he was super human, really. Knowing that even THE Tim Ferris has ongoing challenges made him more relatable. Marie - also want to share that you’ve been a huge inspiration for me and I hope to meet you one day. You’re such a wonderful human being, and role model for young women.
Tun Ferris is so changed. I have followed him as I am a type A personality and I push myself really hard and am so hard on myself. His aura is so different. He has a sense of calmness and knowledge that I believe comes from being in a troubled place (mentally). I think I’m there, in that hard, but learning place...trying to figure things out...because I’m in a situation I NEVER wanted to be in, yet I believe I HAVE TO be where I’m at and go through what I’m going through (rock bottom and continuing to go down) so that I can learn and grow and understand, and be the person I wanted, and need, to be. I’ll get to my calmness, but for now it’s a freakin storm.
Mercedes, we're sending you so much light, love, and positive energy as you work through this phase in your life. It sounds like you can see the way through, and a purpose for this experience. That's half the battle, and we're so glad that this conversation between Marie and Tim is helping :) - Jillian, Team Forleo
Mercedes, thanks for sharing your story. I am in the "hard but learning place" too, and it's a huge comfort to know I'm not alone. One of my friends reminded me tonight that that this growth moment is important and valuable. I mean, it's always darkest before the dawn, right? ...right? Lol. Gah. Here's to better.
I am right there with you. I've hated this dark place for so long but have realized that I wouldnt mentally be on this higher brain wave frequency without this struggle. I wouldnt be on this quest for inner peace and understanding if it wasnt for this dark place. Rough,but necessary. Good luck to you,wishing you the best
Marie, you have responded to my comments before, for that I thank you! My comments before had centered before about having PTSD. When your asked Tim about his dark times tears just flowed out of my eyes. Thank you for your candid choice of subjects you choose to cover. You have shown me over and over that despite all of our what we might think are unsermountable obstacles we can still succeed. I love you for that. My story is after 23 years in the fire service I had PTSD like so many of my brothers and sisters. This battle to overcome this has definitely had its very dark hours. Be assured that you have had an impact on helping me to overcome. For me I have found the best way to help me is helping others. I am currently working on creating a video with my therapist on my journey to overcome this battle. Love you! Thank you so much for being you!
I loved this chat! I have to say, thanks to Tim, the one simple but powerful thing that has changed my life over the last year was hearing him chat with Chase (and again with you) about the power of asking yourself "what would this look like if it were easy?" I have been a chronic over-complicator, and this has completely silenced the beast, and moved me right into inspired action. Forever grateful, forever growing -SMK
AMAZING!!! I guess when this one came to my inbox it was too long to watch right the way and i never got back to it. Watched the whole thing and I am floored. I have the 4-hour work week but never knew his personal story. I will share this interview, and buy the book and do many of the things he recommended. For the last 2 years I have been more mindful how I need to treat myself, like a "loved one". I am more of a giver, so this is hard. Morning routines, meditation, gratitude. All part of my practice. THE BEST thing I did in the last 3 years was to change my thoughts that I was not good with money. I am building wealth through real estate for me and my family. Many take aways from this interview but EVERYTHING reminded me of something important, or was really valuable or really touching. I will watch it again. Thank you, Marie and Tim.
the best belief that I changed last year was falling in love with money. If before I saw money as smth that limited my freedom and I was reluctant to focus on making it, now I see it as one of the best opportunities to establish a better freedom and a force for good. Totally life changing. Thank you for the interview, it was lovely to watch you both - my biggest takeaway was about parents. I will organize a trip together with mom somewhere soon.
You explained this really well! 😄 Thanks for the great points about building a habit of regular reading, little by little, at your own pace :) I'll remember this for next time!
Tim I really admire the way that you handle talking about everything and the way you focus on how people take your words and story and are conscious of what you say ...
One of the best interviews you have ever shared. Real, powerful, authentic, truly helpful. Thank you Tim Ferriss and Marie for being brave and allowing Tim to tell truths that many of us want and NEED to hear. Bravo!
My heart just exploded! That is EXACTLY what I told my son when he was struggling to learn to read, you can read anything in the world that you want to once you learn to read!
i started watching this and then realised i needed to take notes. it took me most of the day to watch, stop and write. what a great start to 2021 . thankyou to 2 of my favorite inspirational people. happy new year from melbourne australia.
Beautiful♡The habit that's most improved my life is also, meditation. I love what Tim said "practice observing your thoughts, feelings and emotions for a very short period of time so that, for the rest of the day, you are less emotionally reactive. " yes, yes and yes to this!
Alexa, thank you for sharing this with us! We absolutely agree that meditation and spending time observing your mind and emotions is a transformative practice. So glad that Tim and Marie offered some beauty to your day. - Jillian, Team Forleo
In the past five years what has most improved my life: Practicing self-love and compassion. I believe I wouldn't be able to do the things I truly loved, like photography, fashion, blogging, makeup artistry, had it not been for this practice. I broke out of my shell because of it, and for that I am truly grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing Gabriella! You've given yourself permission to be the best version of yourself through patience, love, and heart. We're thrilled to hear that you found a way to break out of your shell, and we're cheering you on even more. - Jillian, Team Forleo
The biggest impact in the last 5 years has come from being more Health Conscious, reading for myself rather than only for assignments, and lastly being a terrible decision maker. I have learned more from the pain that comes with that last one than anything ^_^
This was truly one of the best interviews / conversations I've seen with Tim Ferriss and that I've seen you do Marie. The last five years have been very up and down in my life with my chronic illnesses. One of the most important habits I've got into, is also meditation, I meditate with crystals and find that the most helpful technique for me currently. I've definitely been less self-destructive too, which can be very difficult when you have a lot of chaos in your life. Even though things are still very tough in my life, I'm definitely learning more and more that I need more positivity in my life; both surrounding me and within myself. As negativity just breeds negativity, I've certainly learnt that the hard way. Watching videos like this is exactly the sort of thing that I needed right now. Thank you for the incredible content you share with the world Marie! :)
Hi Marie and Tim, I enjoyed this discussion so much. I really appreciate that you both took your time, because it allowed Tim to open up in such an authentic and intimate way. I feel really touched by all that Tim shared with us and as a result I feel more confident and at peace. It is great to just spend time with someone so thoughtful, and who has such a loving heart and wonderful mind. The biggest change in my life, over the past five years was taking up daily meditation. I started "open heart" meditation 5 years ago, after doing 20 years of Vipassana or insight meditation. The practice of Open Heart is one of relaxation followed by prayer. It has completely transformed the way I encounter every aspect of my daily life, and I am so grateful to have the practice in my life because I can see, and feel that it has changed me, becoming more gentle and patient, and I am now so much stronger in a way that is "softer" rather than "harder." Much love to you both and I am heading over to Tim's website now to keep learning!
Thanks so much for this interview Marie. For so many years, I've tried to love everyone else apart from myself. My aim was to be the best daughter, sister, mother, friend etc. to everyone but I felt so unappreciated. I thought everyone was suppose to love me for all the things I was doing for them. But I failed to recognised that I needed to love others as I love myself. Self love is key. When I started appreciating myself more, I've noticed a lot of changes. I've come to accept that I can't control everything and learned how to give myself a break. The nuggets shared in this interview are great. I'll definitely watch it again.
thanks so much Marie- this is probably one of the best interviews yet!! I'm a huge fan of both you and Tim. He's such a great guy, I've had the pleasure of meeting him personally just last week and felt how warm and approachable he was. His down to earth personality was just a confirmation of how vulnerable and honest I felt he's always been in all his interviews and interactions with others. Thank you Tim again for diving so deep- your honesty and vulnerability will help so many. Love you both!
Tim, if you're reading this, know that I completely "see" you, and I love you very much. You're such an intelligent, interesting and lovable guy, and I hope I'll shake hands with you one day! You're incredible, keep that in your "funky neighbourhood" that is your mind 😉 All the best to you bro. PS: Marie, you too, as always. The way you connect with Tim is proof that you are at least as great as he is :-) Thank you so much to you both. 🙏
A quote for type A s like myself : "There is strength and there are advantages to having an endurance. But only when you're enduring things that are worth enduring, as opposed to just making your life painful"
The best thing I've discovered that's happened in the last year or so, is what I call "Plug in to Plug out." I put my headphones in and climb to the top of a mountain, drowning out all outside noise and it puts me almost instantly into this very high level of meditative state, while also kicking my ass physically. It's kind of euphoric. :) Great interview! Tim Ferriss is quite an interesting fellow. I'd love to talk with him someday.
I really resonated with the "always have a budget for books", those are the exact words I used to tell my children. When they would ask for toys or useless "stuff" that they would forget and I couldn't afford, I would say no, but if you find a book, I can buy that. I raised 4 excellent readers, one of them is a screenwriter/producer, two are teachers (1 is an English teacher), and one that wants to work in the world of museums because she loves history thanks to books. They saw the library as a wonderful day destination and we always had a stack of books to read.
First of all Tim and Marie you are two of my idols! Second, Tim it is so refreshing to hear depression spoken about in the way that you have articulated it. Reading the four hour work week I feel like I can relate to you so much with all the random business ideas, travel and general inclination to try strange things for the challenge. I have done so many things in my life but it never feels like enough. I just want to be successful like the two of you are. I want to be happy and to make others happy. I hope that some day I can provide that kind of value for people!
The understanding that it is ALL Made Up, and that I can change my beliefs, my story, my habits, and my life is always invigorating. I love Tim's constant returning to what is the most effective 20%, asking great questions to always be honing in on what is most relevant and efficient right now, now, now... Much Love. #AuthenticAction #MakeYourself
Exercising with a group of F3 men from my community (and neighboring communities) at 5am 2-3 days a week. Outside, rain or shine, hot or cold...supporting each other and growing stronger as men, husbands, fathers, and friends. Oh, and it's free.
I absolutely LOVE Tim and his podcast, and his books, and everything he's up to - he's such an incredible force for good and inspiration! Can't wait to meet up with him and have a chat :-]
Wow, I literally stopped this video probably 20 times to go look up some other thing Tim said, there are so many life altering opportunities presented here, right to the last minute, don't bail early, Thank you for all your work Tim, the countless hours you've spent or agonised, and then to freely share the solution
"First and foremost, try to invest in the skills and learning the principles that are more timeless. Because then you are infinitely adaptable." Brilliant interview
Tim Ferris, such a brilliant mind. I will certainly watch this interview again. Can't wait to read his new book. Very moving interview too and thank you for talking openly about mental health.
"I've learned that in order to be happy going after our dreams we must strive to be humble and grateful and control what we can and let go of what we think we can't."
What if Barnaby Is a projection of Lucifer and Lucifer is a projection of BarnCat ? Does that mean this is all make believe? Is this all fake? What if I’m lost will I ever be found? Am I a simulation?
"It was a huge burden lifted. Because I no longer felt like I was making myself miserable. I was like, 'No, this is my code. My software just has a bug in it.'" Wow, great way of seeing it. Hit me in the home button to take out the emotion and make it binary.
The behavior that has most improved my life is opening up to my close friends. I held so much in. For years. Speaking up has depended my relationships and sometimes even helped me grow. Thanks for this video. It resonated more than I expected it would. & Thanks for years of great content, Team Marie!
This has been the BEST youtube video I've ever seen related to advise on writing. I wish I saw this and saved myself 500.00 on a Master Class for writing. The greatest gift is knowledge. Btw- Tim is gorgeous with the new look. His look reflects the appearance of a transformed wise Spirit Man (Hu-Man). Absolutely Beautiful.
Loved hearing Tim's story and his writing tips. I especially resonated with the idea of reaching those people who are most like you and that trying to make everyone like your book will weaken the connection those true fans might get from it by just being yourself. The question at the end has made me realize that a lot of the good habits and beliefs I had built up in the last five or six years have been abandoned in the last one. My anxiety has completely taken over again, and I know I need to find a way to realign with my dearest hopes and beliefs instead of all the fears. I need to be kinder and more compassionate with myself again, instead of berating myself for all of my perceived flaws in the same way I was treated by my peers during school.
Thank-You for addressing very real issues in such a candid and down to earth manner. Compassion and humanity are two qualities that I value in people more than anything. Thank-you for this interview it helps to restore faith at a time of so much uncertainty. Great teachers make us all want to be a better person.
Thank you Marie for interviewing Tim - I had heard of him but not delved into who he is. He has extraordinary clarity and brilliance in an ordinary understandable way. I need to read his book.
This is absolutely one of my favorite interviews you've done. There's so much to extract and connect to my own personal experiences, objectives and goals. A must share!
Absolutely loved the interview. It is one of the most insightful talk on very important aspects of life. Maria, you have such heart to heart conversations. They are absolutely priceless.
thanks for the interview! Definately the decision to start taking good care of my body, eating well and work out 6/7 times a week. Really realizing that short term practices have usually short term results and that having a great body will not happen overnight. Embracing that and taking the journey to the unknown greatness discovery. Another is being more realistic about when i put my alarm clock and waking up when it rings, cause i know otherwise i'll regret it!!! And lastly, that you are free and responsible. You CAN choose to do or not do sth , and be ready to embrace the side effects. Love, Toniaaa
Marie and Tim, It is an idea from Tony Robbins that has made the most impact as of late: What if it didn’t happen to you but for you? It acts like a jump to a different lane with a lot more light. Great episode, thank you both! So many gems here!
Wow so much wisdom and inspiration in this interview. The chemistry between you two is so genuine. I had to watch it in 3 sittings, but loved it! Thank you! Boundaries - that is one new behaviour I am doing my best to practice more.
A huge thank you a phenomenal interview. The difference between risk and fear, the importance of meditation and self love. So important much important information.
That was really helpful, I love Tim.... such a beautiful person!!! To answer my favorite lifestyle change has been using guided meditations n mini-meditations to CALM my Moody blue Brain. Thank you God for your info on suicidal thoughts, probably saved lives with that message- it's so easy to get wrapped up in our own lil worlds n take life too seriously!!! Great tips on writing processes, also.... thanks Marie, you are so beautiful and FUN!!! Much Love, Francesca the LOUD
What he said about the lights in the ICU, I think I experienced something similar. Also, for me, as a severly premature twin, my heart stopped some time, I was tube fed and on CPAP as I didn't breathe by myself, I believe for many months before they could have me home. I remember that when I was being babysitted later, that I fell asleep to looking at the babysitter's red blinking digital watch that was by the crib. I am not supposed to remember things from this early, I must have been 1 year. There are no photos from the babysitter's bedroom from when I was little, so I asked her later as an adult whether she had a small white digital watch that was red and regularly blinking. She confirmed this, and so I think that I found meditation through the light and this helped me fall asleep. I didn't know that the watch showed the time, but I noticed that the last numbers changed in some pattern, and sometimes the figures in front of it, and then in front of that . That felt comforting, there was some predictability, and the two dots between the numbers were like a regular beat. Today I am a painter and a choreographer. Obsessed with time, and so happy I survived. Thank you for this.
The realization that I can have personal power no matter my external power. It has completely changed my life and I just realized my first book about my journey with it: Pure Personal Power - tools to collect on a healing journey. Thanks for an amazing conversation as always!
That's fantastic, Helena! We'll be wishing you immense success with your book and are so glad you're sharing your wisdom with those who need it most. - Team Forleo
Hi there. Not very familiar writing about the videos I watch but this one really make my day. I didnt care the time but just enjoyed every single word. Clear thoughts and amazing ideas that help my mind out. I am glad to take the time to see it. I hope to get the chance to read any of Tim Ferris' books sometime due to the fact I am in Colombia (Spanish speakers country). Thanks for the content shared! Priceless ;)

I’m obsessed with this interview
After reading the new 4-hour Work Week I became an instant fan of Tim Ferris. But after watching this interview with Marie, my favorite mentor, I am a lifelong fan!
In the last five years, the decision that has made the most impact in my life was to stop drinking alcohol.
My mind is clear. I am more confident. I have started my own business, a business I tried once before but was unsuccessful. Now I am successful so far and truly believe I wouldn’t be if I were still drinking.
Thank you for all the great nuggets in this interview. Love you both!!

Thank you.
Tim Ferris is my favorite man in the world. So versatile, wise and kind.
I'm quite literally in a state of wonderment and perplexity... this is going into the rotation of videos that I've been watching to keep me on track... thank you so much... you have no idea the value that this brought to my life on this particular day. I haven't been practicing this for 5 years, but the last 2 or so months every time a negative thought begins in my mind I say "I will not suffer" and just repeat until the anxiety of that negative thought dissipates away. Tim's simplest statement of just being a little bit kinder to yourself and the value that it brings to your life resonates so much with my entire being. I can already see the change in my mood, in my thoughts, in my interactions with my daughter... It's been the simplest and most transformative in such a small frame of time. Thank you... I had to comment and really express this ... so grateful for this masterful content.
"I will not suffer" is a brilliant thing to say to yourself... Because yes, it is a choice! Thank you for sharing!
In the past 5 years what has most improved my life? Journaling and meditation. The information I've garnered by the introspection is profound. I taught a journaling and meditation class by default, at a sober living residence. It cleared the way to help relax my body, and acknowledge that I am my worst enemy, so I'm changing that with spactatular results! I'm so much kinder to myself and that's becoming a habit. It absolutely affects every aspect and every area of my life. I'm so much happier with far less, I'm so much more appreciative of everything in my life- good and bad. Even though I don't even judge it as that anymore because I see that for me, everything has a purpose in my life. So, it's all good. Thanks for the GREAT interview with the GREAT Tim Ferris! Love you guys!
This is beautiful to read Kelly. We love hearing that journaling and meditation have proven so invaluable for you. Those are both practices that we're huge fans of, and it's incredible to hear all the ways they've impacted your life in positive ways. Thanks for watching this week!

Wow! We are walking the same path, my sister. Incredible. This is the first time I have ever seen Tim Ferris. I've heard about his '20 hour work week' book but I couldn't believe the things he was saying about his growth and awakenings. I'm currently working on creating a new program that teaches and empowers the empath intuitive introvert entrepreneur who has a great many years of sorrows but must learn how to find their passions and explore their own vision, mission, voices through their spiritual awakening and transformation into healing of the inner child by making life into this creative masterpiece that shows them how to find their sacred dreams and create moments that are meaningful and reflective and that sets them up in a way to practice their own craft and get deep into themselves by routine writing that they can learn from and also use...to share their ideas and experiences as they learn to craft a joyful fun, exhilarating and passionate life that gets through the fear and perfectionism that keeps us frozen and anxious, and while suffering from depression and pain due to the martyrdom and sacrificial alter of saving others as if we were their savior! Healing comes from loving yourself rightfully and getting through the fears by gagging the brutal bullying of the inner critic within. Understanding that connecting with the divine and developing a Sacred routine that not only builds upon the creative but pairing the creativity with their spiritual life as well as their professional life. I really believe that being spiritual does not mean that we have to be these Hermits, locked away from the world while being far too much in the mind and seriousness. We are built to have joy, laughter, silliness, just as scripture points out and to respond to life with pure excitement and exuberance for enormous magic and adventure there is. So..it's a a matter of really creating art in your life as that inner child. Being free and independent while simply being your Truest, most genuine and sincere self
Same! I've cured myself of chronic pain, manifested from years of emotional tension surpressing... Journaling and meditation literally saved my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow so many points that hit me hard but the hardest thing is the final fact that >80% of my time that i could spend with my mom is already over. Now i will go and block out “mom time” at least half a day every week and then hopefully when we are able to travel again after the pandemic dies down we can go traveling together. I am grateful for both of you because this is such an inspiring helpful conversation.
One thing that has dramatically improved my life quality is meditation and putting it together with physical training. Certainly Tim Ferris and Tony Robbins have helped me with this.
Oh wow, that is so awesome! Congratulations, my friend :)
I think we all underestimate his sensitivity. He intellectualizes a lot so we see a smart guy but it seems like he lives complex and profound emotions with hyper-empathy that led to a control / type A guy saving him from drowning. It is really pleasant to see, and I think that's why people connect with him, part of it being his ability to enounce clearly and directly what appears to be common sense, and part of it being that he is actually a deep guy trying to find meaning in life.
TRUTH: You must love yourself before you can fully love others: Jesus said it! - Love your neighbour as Yourself! Thank you for so many gold nuggets!!!
I listened to the 4 hour work week by this Author and I fell inlove with him instantly. Some of the things I heard was what I have thought to myself I could do in the past to be free of some of the stresses, but I told myself to shut up and get back to work. From then on anytime I come across an interview with Tim Ferriss everything else has to go on Hold. I Love everything about this interview but I am left with two Priceless Gems, "Three Table Created with heading Define- Prevent- Repair" and "Put on your Oxygen Mask First"
This is the most powerful Tim Ferriss interview I've ever watched - so cool to see this deeper and more vulnerable side of him
Marie definitely has a knack for drawing out the inner beauty of her guests, and we're also thrilled to see Tim's vulnerable side here. Thank you for watching!
- Jillian, Team Forleo
Yes! I was thinking that too. He feels like a new person. I'm even more in love. ;) haha
This may be the best discussion I’ve ever listened to. I have listed to other TF interviews, and couldn’t quite figure out what I was missing. It was revealed here. Hearing this interview made me understand him. And me. And I’ve have found so many of the practices he outlines very, very helpful and defining.
If you are here too, listen closely. This might be your way forward.
Third time listening to this in about a month. Already implementing the risk analysis tool. As for beliefs, I had a revelation last year: so much of the stuff that happens around me is NOT about me. For various reasons the stories I was telling myself were very me focussed and negative. I'm on a steady diet of asking 'what could this mean?' It's revolutionising my life. Thank you for making the time to do this interview.
Marie, oh Ms Marie, this "be nicer to yourself..." is the real shit. Seriously, just experienced it over the last year. Oh Mother of God, the constant punishing of ones self (for a bazillion different sets of reasons), is exhausting, like chronically exhausting. It is crazy how much more benefit we can be to the planet, if we just decide to accept ourselves and work to our strengths instead of beating our potential to death because of our perceived weaknesses.
Seriously so important that he talks about suicidal circumstances, depression and omg, being able to love someone only after we can fully love ourselves. So freaking good. Seriously, the consistent beating of ourselves is exhausting - like chronic exhaustion...
We're so glad that this conversation with Tim highlighted some important issues for you Rhonda. YES, loving yourself and being nicer to yourself are major keys to being able to contributing authentically to the world, and establish our your sense of happiness. It sounds like this came at a beautiful time for you.
- Jillian, Team Forleo
The best thing I discovered in the last year or so... generating energy for my day with: proper sleep (waking up without an alarm clock), exercise, naps & coffee when needing “an extra” kick
His story is fascinating! The lack of sleep, insomnia, is typical of bipolar disorder. He is so courageous and I appreciate him talking about the “unspeakable.”
I love the way his eyes light up when she asks him those questions that are meaningful to him.
Love her personality. Them two together is just a great combination. Thankful for these individuals.
Wow. I loved this.
I'm glad he discussed that risk/benefit worksheet. Doing this, I have convinced myself to take some very important leaps, including leaving my job, doing my business full time with my husband, selling all our belongings and moving to Guatemala for a year of service (which we just returned from) and now we are doing it all over again - but this time the destination is Santa Fe, NM. I couldn't have seen how we would be divinely supported thorough these leaps of faith, but doing the exercise did help make up some of the unfortunate faith gap and tame the voices of fear in my mind.
I have to say Marie, I have watched a lot of Tim Ferris and read his books too, and I’m noticing a big difference in his energy just in this first half hour of the interview. He’s not even discussing self-love he is just embodying it. “Beautiful softness” as you’ve described it - is apt. Fascinating to hear how he got there.
Thank you Tim for describing your struggle with depression and how you got to a place of self love, not in spite of, but actually including the depression. I counsel women and sometimes have a had a tough time identifying with and assisting women who describe themselves as depressed. This interview is a breakthrough for me, as I somehow know on a deep level that what you’ve said has given me some very powerful tools to be of higher service to those women.
Thank you also for elaborating on Jesus’ “golden rule” from Matthew 7:12. You explained perfectly how there is an internal dialogue that we need to address.
In the past 5 years, the thing that has made the biggest difference in my life is taking action on my intuition. Or as a Christian in Christian terms, the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Best Regards,
Laura Gabriele
Ambitious Christian Women thankyou this is inspiring
Beautiful! The was a good word for me.
Thank you!
It would be lovely to see Marie Kondo on both your shows. This was a great educational video for me! Thank you so very much Marie & Timothy! Going to buy T.O.M tomorrow...so excited!!!
Hey Alisalman, so glad to hear that! We are all living, breathing, works of art... and it we let God in to be a part of that it truly becomes a miraculous journey beyond what we could ask or think!
Hi LaTomya thank you for letting me know, another chance to give praise!
Listening to Tim speak is such an experience. He provides so much that you almost need to listen to it twice to really digest it. I can't believe how many times I nodded my head during this interview because we have so many unlikely things in common. Excellent interview!
Carissa I did the same! Going to have to sit down again with a notepad and pen :)
This was so fantastic. I especially appreciated Tim sharing his story about mental health. I thought he was super human, really. Knowing that even THE Tim Ferris has ongoing challenges made him more relatable. Marie - also want to share that you’ve been a huge inspiration for me and I hope to meet you one day. You’re such a wonderful human being, and role model for young women.
I cried listening to the suicide bit..thank you for helping me realize it does get better..
Tun Ferris is so changed. I have followed him as I am a type A personality and I push myself really hard and am so hard on myself. His aura is so different. He has a sense of calmness and knowledge that I believe comes from being in a troubled place (mentally). I think I’m there, in that hard, but learning place...trying to figure things out...because I’m in a situation I NEVER wanted to be in, yet I believe I HAVE TO be where I’m at and go through what I’m going through (rock bottom and continuing to go down) so that I can learn and grow and understand, and be the person I wanted, and need, to be. I’ll get to my calmness, but for now it’s a freakin storm.
Mercedes, we're sending you so much light, love, and positive energy as you work through this phase in your life. It sounds like you can see the way through, and a purpose for this experience. That's half the battle, and we're so glad that this conversation between Marie and Tim is helping :)
- Jillian, Team Forleo
Mercedes, thanks for sharing your story. I am in the "hard but learning place" too, and it's a huge comfort to know I'm not alone. One of my friends reminded me tonight that that this growth moment is important and valuable. I mean, it's always darkest before the dawn, right? ...right? Lol. Gah. Here's to better.
I am right there with you. I've hated this dark place for so long but have realized that I wouldnt mentally be on this higher brain wave frequency without this struggle. I wouldnt be on this quest for inner peace and understanding if it wasnt for this dark place. Rough,but necessary. Good luck to you,wishing you the best
Marie, you have responded to my comments before, for that I thank you! My comments before had centered before about having PTSD. When your asked Tim about his dark times tears just flowed out of my eyes. Thank you for your candid choice of subjects you choose to cover. You have shown me over and over that despite all of our what we might think are unsermountable obstacles we can still succeed. I love you for that. My story is after 23 years in the fire service I had PTSD like so many of my brothers and sisters. This battle to overcome this has definitely had its very dark hours. Be assured that you have had an impact on helping me to overcome. For me I have found the best way to help me is helping others. I am currently working on creating a video with my therapist on my journey to overcome this battle. Love you! Thank you so much for being you!
I loved this chat! I have to say, thanks to Tim, the one simple but powerful thing that has changed my life over the last year was hearing him chat with Chase (and again with you) about the power of asking yourself "what would this look like if it were easy?" I have been a chronic over-complicator, and this has completely silenced the beast, and moved me right into inspired action. Forever grateful, forever growing -SMK
AMAZING!!! I guess when this one came to my inbox it was too long to watch right the way and i never got back to it. Watched the whole thing and I am floored. I have the 4-hour work week but never knew his personal story. I will share this interview, and buy the book and do many of the things he recommended. For the last 2 years I have been more mindful how I need to treat myself, like a "loved one". I am more of a giver, so this is hard. Morning routines, meditation, gratitude. All part of my practice. THE BEST thing I did in the last 3 years was to change my thoughts that I was not good with money. I am building wealth through real estate for me and my family. Many take aways from this interview but EVERYTHING reminded me of something important, or was really valuable or really touching. I will watch it again. Thank you, Marie and Tim.
Tim, you are a marketing master. You don't even have to do anything, everything you create is pure Gold.
the best belief that I changed last year was falling in love with money. If before I saw money as smth that limited my freedom and I was reluctant to focus on making it, now I see it as one of the best opportunities to establish a better freedom and a force for good. Totally life changing. Thank you for the interview, it was lovely to watch you both - my biggest takeaway was about parents. I will organize a trip together with mom somewhere soon.
Thank you Tim for being so honest, you are doing so much good to people
By far, my life has been improved greatly to my regular habit of reading.
You explained this really well! 😄
Thanks for the great points about building a habit of regular reading, little by little, at your own pace :)
I'll remember this for next time!
Tim I really admire the way that you handle talking about everything and the way you focus on how people take your words and story and are conscious of what you say ...
One of the best interviews you have ever shared. Real, powerful, authentic, truly helpful. Thank you Tim Ferriss and Marie for being brave and allowing Tim to tell truths that many of us want and NEED to hear. Bravo!
My heart just exploded! That is EXACTLY what I told my son when he was struggling to learn to read, you can read anything in the world that you want to once you learn to read!
This is the best and I mean best interview of Tim Ferries of all time.. This is the most genuine he's ever come across. Bravo!!!
Beginning at 25:45 - GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!
Decluttering and organizing my office for work and my home. Such peace of mind I feel!
i started watching this and then realised i needed to take notes. it took me most of the day to watch, stop and write. what a great start to 2021 . thankyou to 2 of my favorite inspirational people. happy new year from melbourne australia.
Beautiful♡The habit that's most improved my life is also, meditation. I love what Tim said "practice observing your thoughts, feelings and emotions for a very short period of time so that, for the rest of the day, you are less emotionally reactive. " yes, yes and yes to this!
Alexa, thank you for sharing this with us! We absolutely agree that meditation and spending time observing your mind and emotions is a transformative practice. So glad that Tim and Marie offered some beauty to your day.
- Jillian, Team Forleo
In the past five years what has most improved my life: Practicing self-love and compassion. I believe I wouldn't be able to do the things I truly loved, like photography, fashion, blogging, makeup artistry, had it not been for this practice. I broke out of my shell because of it, and for that I am truly grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing Gabriella! You've given yourself permission to be the best version of yourself through patience, love, and heart. We're thrilled to hear that you found a way to break out of your shell, and we're cheering you on even more.
- Jillian, Team Forleo
The biggest impact in the last 5 years has come from being more Health Conscious, reading for myself rather than only for assignments, and lastly being a terrible decision maker. I have learned more from the pain that comes with that last one than anything ^_^
This was truly one of the best interviews / conversations I've seen with Tim Ferriss and that I've seen you do Marie.
The last five years have been very up and down in my life with my chronic illnesses. One of the most important habits I've got into, is also meditation, I meditate with crystals and find that the most helpful technique for me currently. I've definitely been less self-destructive too, which can be very difficult when you have a lot of chaos in your life.
Even though things are still very tough in my life, I'm definitely learning more and more that I need more positivity in my life; both surrounding me and within myself. As negativity just breeds negativity, I've certainly learnt that the hard way.
Watching videos like this is exactly the sort of thing that I needed right now. Thank you for the incredible content you share with the world Marie! :)
Hi Marie and Tim, I enjoyed this discussion so much. I really appreciate that you both took your time, because it allowed Tim to open up in such an authentic and intimate way. I feel really touched by all that Tim shared with us and as a result I feel more confident and at peace. It is great to just spend time with someone so thoughtful, and who has such a loving heart and wonderful mind. The biggest change in my life, over the past five years was taking up daily meditation. I started "open heart" meditation 5 years ago, after doing 20 years of Vipassana or insight meditation. The practice of Open Heart is one of relaxation followed by prayer. It has completely transformed the way I encounter every aspect of my daily life, and I am so grateful to have the practice in my life because I can see, and feel that it has changed me, becoming more gentle and patient, and I am now so much stronger in a way that is "softer" rather than "harder." Much love to you both and I am heading over to Tim's website now to keep learning!
I thought I was a fan of Tim's until I watched this. One of the most touching interviews I've seen of him. Marie+Tim=Great Saturday Soul Coffee!
First time watching both. She is an excellent interviewer by far!!
Practicing Yoga every morning and it has changed my life for good!
It cannot get better than this...! two of my favourite people together!! This interview is a gift..
We're so glad this interview was a bright spot in your day; thanks for watching!
- Jillian, Team Forleo
Thanks so much for this interview Marie. For so many years, I've tried to love everyone else apart from myself. My aim was to be the best daughter, sister, mother, friend etc. to everyone but I felt so unappreciated.
I thought everyone was suppose to love me for all the things I was doing for them. But I failed to recognised that I needed to love others as I love myself. Self love is key. When I started appreciating myself more, I've noticed a lot of changes. I've come to accept that I can't control everything and learned how to give myself a break.
The nuggets shared in this interview are great. I'll definitely watch it again.
thanks so much Marie- this is probably one of the best interviews yet!! I'm a huge fan of both you and Tim. He's such a great guy, I've had the pleasure of meeting him personally just last week and felt how warm and approachable he was. His down to earth personality was just a confirmation of how vulnerable and honest I felt he's always been in all his interviews and interactions with others. Thank you Tim again for diving so deep- your honesty and vulnerability will help so many. Love you both!
Tim, if you're reading this, know that I completely "see" you, and I love you very much. You're such an intelligent, interesting and lovable guy, and I hope I'll shake hands with you one day! You're incredible, keep that in your "funky neighbourhood" that is your mind 😉 All the best to you bro. PS: Marie, you too, as always. The way you connect with Tim is proof that you are at least as great as he is :-) Thank you so much to you both. 🙏
A quote for type A s like myself : "There is strength and there are advantages to having an endurance. But only when you're enduring things that are worth enduring, as opposed to just making your life painful"
The best thing I've discovered that's happened in the last year or so, is what I call "Plug in to Plug out." I put my headphones in and climb to the top of a mountain, drowning out all outside noise and it puts me almost instantly into this very high level of meditative state, while also kicking my ass physically. It's kind of euphoric. :) Great interview! Tim Ferriss is quite an interesting fellow. I'd love to talk with him someday.
I really resonated with the "always have a budget for books", those are the exact words I used to tell my children. When they would ask for toys or useless "stuff" that they would forget and I couldn't afford, I would say no, but if you find a book, I can buy that. I raised 4 excellent readers, one of them is a screenwriter/producer, two are teachers (1 is an English teacher), and one that wants to work in the world of museums because she loves history thanks to books. They saw the library as a wonderful day destination and we always had a stack of books to read.
First of all Tim and Marie you are two of my idols! Second, Tim it is so refreshing to hear depression spoken about in the way that you have articulated it. Reading the four hour work week I feel like I can relate to you so much with all the random business ideas, travel and general inclination to try strange things for the challenge. I have done so many things in my life but it never feels like enough. I just want to be successful like the two of you are. I want to be happy and to make others happy. I hope that some day I can provide that kind of value for people!
The understanding that it is ALL Made Up, and that I can change my beliefs, my story, my habits, and my life is always invigorating. I love Tim's constant returning to what is the most effective 20%, asking great questions to always be honing in on what is most relevant and efficient right now, now, now... Much Love. #AuthenticAction #MakeYourself
TIM FERRISS AND MARIE TOGETHER?!?! I'm SO EXCITED!
They seem like snake oil salesmen and multi level marketing scheme type people but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt
Exercising with a group of F3 men from my community (and neighboring communities) at 5am 2-3 days a week. Outside, rain or shine, hot or cold...supporting each other and growing stronger as men, husbands, fathers, and friends. Oh, and it's free.
Your outer world of relationships is a reflection of your inner relationship with self.
Meditating twice a day, with positive affirmations and visualizations has helped me to improve my state of mind substantially in the past few months.
I have a feeling that Tim has gained so much more respect & love with this interview! Thank you so much!
Clean food, exercise, meditation, a bit of yoga & Marie Forleo because through you I have learn about a bunch of great people
Angela H first video I've watched of Maria's. Love her already! Whats the best video to watch next of hers
I absolutely LOVE Tim and his podcast, and his books, and everything he's up to - he's such an incredible force for good and inspiration! Can't wait to meet up with him and have a chat :-]
Wow, I literally stopped this video probably 20 times to go look up some other thing Tim said, there are so many life altering opportunities presented here, right to the last minute, don't bail early, Thank you for all your work Tim, the countless hours you've spent or agonised, and then to freely share the solution
I fully understand that feeling of wanting to win to value yourself! So many things Tim says hit home. Love how grounded he is!
"First and foremost, try to invest in the skills and learning the principles that are more timeless. Because then you are infinitely adaptable."
Brilliant interview
Tim changed my life 8 years ago and I love him still!
Tim Ferris, such a brilliant mind. I will certainly watch this interview again. Can't wait to read his new book. Very moving interview too and thank you for talking openly about mental health.
This is great. We are so lucky to have better content than we have ever had as a species and it's delivered directly to our minds as a gift.
AMEN to that! We're so glad this particular conversation spurred that thought Dane :)
- Team Forleo
"I've learned that in order to be happy going after our dreams we must strive to be humble and grateful and control what we can and let go of what we think we can't."
This is the best Tim Ferriss interview I’ve ever seen. Marie, you did a great job asking non traditional questions. I really enjoyed this.
“If the voice in your head is a voice and a tone that you would never use with the people you care most about, don’t use it with yourself.”
What if Barnaby Is a projection of Lucifer and Lucifer is a projection of BarnCat ? Does that mean this is all make believe? Is this all fake? What if I’m lost will I ever be found? Am I a simulation?
"It was a huge burden lifted. Because I no longer felt like I was making myself miserable. I was like, 'No, this is my code. My software just has a bug in it.'" Wow, great way of seeing it. Hit me in the home button to take out the emotion and make it binary.
The behavior that has most improved my life is opening up to my close friends. I held so much in. For years. Speaking up has depended my relationships and sometimes even helped me grow.
Thanks for this video. It resonated more than I expected it would. & Thanks for years of great content, Team Marie!
This has been the BEST youtube video I've ever seen related to advise on writing. I wish I saw this and saved myself 500.00 on a Master Class for writing. The greatest gift is knowledge. Btw- Tim is gorgeous with the new look. His look reflects the appearance of a transformed wise Spirit Man (Hu-Man). Absolutely Beautiful.
Loved hearing Tim's story and his writing tips. I especially resonated with the idea of reaching those people who are most like you and that trying to make everyone like your book will weaken the connection those true fans might get from it by just being yourself. The question at the end has made me realize that a lot of the good habits and beliefs I had built up in the last five or six years have been abandoned in the last one. My anxiety has completely taken over again, and I know I need to find a way to realign with my dearest hopes and beliefs instead of all the fears. I need to be kinder and more compassionate with myself again, instead of berating myself for all of my perceived flaws in the same way I was treated by my peers during school.
Omggggggg THIS INTERVIEW honestly you guys who would have known I would have taken the time to write that I've been waiting for this my. Entire. Life.
Thank-You for addressing very real issues in such a candid and down to earth manner. Compassion and humanity are two qualities that I value in people more than anything. Thank-you for this interview it helps to restore faith at a time of so much uncertainty. Great teachers make us all want to be a better person.
Thank you Marie for interviewing Tim - I had heard of him but not delved into who he is. He has extraordinary clarity and brilliance in an ordinary understandable way. I need to read his book.
Beautiful interview. Thank you!
Thank you Tim for being so vulnerable!
Train yourself to not care what others think as you put yourself out there - that is a great concept to incorporate.
This is absolutely one of my favorite interviews you've done. There's so much to extract and connect to my own personal experiences, objectives and goals. A must share!
Thank you both Marie and Tim--so grateful for your wisdom and mentorship--am late for an appointment because I can't stop listening. Riveting.
Absolutely loved the interview. It is one of the most insightful talk on very important aspects of life. Maria, you have such heart to heart conversations. They are absolutely priceless.
Tim is genuinely good person.
I feel like I've been asleep on Marie Forleo! I've been enjoying all of her amazing interviews with these phenomenal people!
Welcome to MarieTV land! We're so glad you're enjoying it. 💞-Team Forleo
This is one of my favorite tim ferriss interviews! Excellent
Discovering Ferris work now, life changing!!!!
I LOVE this man!!! Wow, impressive!
thanks for the interview! Definately the decision to start taking good care of my body, eating well and work out 6/7 times a week. Really realizing that short term practices have usually short term results and that having a great body will not happen overnight. Embracing that and taking the journey to the unknown greatness discovery. Another is being more realistic about when i put my alarm clock and waking up when it rings, cause i know otherwise i'll regret it!!! And lastly, that you are free and responsible. You CAN choose to do or not do sth , and be ready to embrace the side effects. Love, Toniaaa
There are so many gems in this interview I must listen to it a few more times! Thank you 🙏
Marie and Tim, It is an idea from Tony Robbins that has made the most impact as of late: What if it didn’t happen to you but for you? It acts like a jump to a different lane with a lot more light. Great episode, thank you both! So many gems here!
One of the most value focused 90 minutes.. thanks a lot!
Wow - definitely my favorite episode so far. So many nuggets of wisdom and tools
Wow so much wisdom and inspiration in this interview. The chemistry between you two is so genuine.
I had to watch it in 3 sittings, but loved it! Thank you!
Boundaries - that is one new behaviour I am doing my best to practice more.
Meditation is one of the biggest things that changed my life for the good in the past five years
Tim's words are so inspiring...
every time feel strong energy after watching Marie TV, and it's my way to cultivate positive : ))
A huge thank you a phenomenal interview. The difference between risk and fear, the importance of meditation and self love. So important much important information.
That was really helpful, I love Tim.... such a beautiful person!!! To answer my favorite lifestyle change has been using guided meditations n mini-meditations to CALM my Moody blue Brain. Thank you God for your info on suicidal thoughts, probably saved lives with that message- it's so easy to get wrapped up in our own lil worlds n take life too seriously!!! Great tips on writing processes, also.... thanks Marie, you are so beautiful and FUN!!! Much Love, Francesca the LOUD
What he said about the lights in the ICU, I think I experienced something similar. Also, for me, as a severly premature twin, my heart stopped some time, I was tube fed and on CPAP as I didn't breathe by myself, I believe for many months before they could have me home. I remember that when I was being babysitted later, that I fell asleep to looking at the babysitter's red blinking digital watch that was by the crib. I am not supposed to remember things from this early, I must have been 1 year. There are no photos from the babysitter's bedroom from when I was little, so I asked her later as an adult whether she had a small white digital watch that was red and regularly blinking. She confirmed this, and so I think that I found meditation through the light and this helped me fall asleep. I didn't know that the watch showed the time, but I noticed that the last numbers changed in some pattern, and sometimes the figures in front of it, and then in front of that . That felt comforting, there was some predictability, and the two dots between the numbers were like a regular beat. Today I am a painter and a choreographer. Obsessed with time, and so happy I survived.
Thank you for this.
The realization that I can have personal power no matter my external power. It has completely changed my life and I just realized my first book about my journey with it: Pure Personal Power - tools to collect on a healing journey. Thanks for an amazing conversation as always!
That's fantastic, Helena! We'll be wishing you immense success with your book and are so glad you're sharing your wisdom with those who need it most.
